Did the 2024 Ram 2500 change much?
The 2024 Ram 2500 remains largely unchanged from its 2023 counterpart except for the inclusion of the Tailgate Ajar warning lamp as a standard feature across all trims. Keeping the previous model’s exterior design, the 2024 model has trims with the basic work truck design like the Tradesman trim or fancy, classy trims like the Limited trim. Whatever trim you choose, you'll be greeted by a rugged front grille that displays the Ram logo and robust contours that exude power. This formidable truck has power tow-trailer mirrors, LED fog lights, LED bed lights, a premium bed liner, and other advanced features to blend a classic design with sophistication.
What is the 2024 Ram 2500’s bed length?
The Ram 2500 has two bed choices:

Along with these bed lengths, you get a cargo space capacity that ranges from 57.5 to 74.7 cubic feet depending on cabin size and bed length. You also get 40.9 inches of legroom in the front seat and a range of 40.2 to 43.1 inches of rear legroom depending on cab and bed configuration. The different cabs you can choose from are Regular, Crew, and Mega. So, you can choose the bed and cabin that are the most comfortable and practical for your 2500.
You can have a basic work truck like a Tradesman, or you can have a fancy Longhorn trim that comes with striped wood and gold trim on the dash, doors, and gauges along with a Longhorn logo hand-branded into the wood of the upper glove box door. Either way, you will be impressed with the easy-to-use controls, large amount of interior space, multilevel center console, standard acoustic glass, and active noise cancellation within the audio system.
The 2500’s technology has touchscreen options between a 5.0-, 8.4-, or 12.0-inch screen. The truck’s system is available with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with trims that are the Rebel and above. The truck also has five USB ports and three 115-volt outlets to keep you powered while on the road or at the work site.

What engine comes with a Ram 2500?
The 2024 Ram 2500 has two engine options:
- 6.4-liter V8 with 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque
- 6.7-liter turbodiesel I6 with 370 hp and 850 lb-ft of torque
The first engine comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and is only available in 4WD, but the second engine comes with a six-speed automatic transmission and is available in either RWD or 4WD. If you are someone who needs to tow and haul a lot, the first engine (gas engine) would be your best choice. It can tow up to 17,740 pounds and haul up to 4,010 pounds.
However, if you are someone who tows more than hauls, the second engine (diesel engine) would be your better choice. It can tow up to 20,000 pounds and haul up to 3,150 pounds. Regardless of what engine you pick, you won’t be disappointed with the performance of each engine.
The 2500’s safety includes optional features include blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic warning, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assistance, Tailgate Ajar warning lamp, and automatic high-beam headlights to increase your safety while on the road.
